    							If your backless booster seat has a
    removable shield, remove the shield. If a
    vehicle seating position has a low seat
    backrest or no head restraint, a backless
    booster seat may place your child's head
    (as measured at the tops of the ears)
    above the top of the seat. In this case,
    move the backless booster to another
    seating position with a higher seat backrest
    or head restraint and lap and shoulder
    belts, or consider using a high back booster
    seat. •
    High back booster seats
    If, with a backless booster seat, you cannot
    find a seating position that adequately
    supports your child's head, a high back
    booster seat would be a better choice.
    Children and booster seats vary in size and
    shape. Choose a booster that keeps the
    lap belt low and snug across the hips,
    never up across the stomach, and lets you
    adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest
    and rest snugly near the center of the
    shoulder. The following drawings compare
    the ideal fit (center) to a shoulder belt
    uncomfortably close to the neck and a
    shoulder belt that could slip off the
    shoulder. The drawings also show how the
    lap belt should be low and snug across the
    child's hips. 28

    							If the booster seat slides on the vehicle
    seat upon which it is being used, placing a
    rubberized mesh sold as shelf or carpet
    liner under the booster seat may improve
    this condition. Do not introduce any item
    thicker than this under the booster seat.
    Check with the booster seat
    manufacturer's instructions.
    CHILD RESTRAINT
    POSITIONING
    WARNINGS
    Airbags can kill or injure a child in a
    child seat. Never place a rear-facing
    child seat in front of an active airbag.
    If you must use a forward-facing child seat
    in the front seat, move the vehicle seat
    upon which the child seat is installed all
    the way back. When possible, all children
    age 12 and under should be properly
    restrained in a rear seating position. If all
    children cannot be seated and restrained
    properly in a rear seating position, properly
    restrain the largest child in the front seat. Always carefully follow the
    instructions and warnings provided
    by the manufacturer of any child
    restraint to determine if the restraint device
    is appropriate for your child's size, height,
    weight, or age. Follow the child restraint
    manufacturer's instructions and warnings WARNINGS
    provided for installation and use in
    conjunction with the instructions and
    warnings provided by your vehicle
    manufacturer. A safety seat that is
    improperly installed or utilized, is
    inappropriate for your child's height, age,
    or weight or does not properly fit the child
    may increase the risk of serious injury or
    death. Never let a passenger hold a child on
    his or her lap while your vehicle is
    moving. The passenger cannot
    protect the child from injury in a crash,
    which may result in serious injury or death. Never use pillows, books, or towels
    to boost a child. They can slide
    around and increase the likelihood
    of injury or death in a crash. Always restrain an unoccupied child
    seat or booster seat. These objects
    may become projectiles in a crash or
    sudden stop, which may increase the risk
    of serious injury. Never place, or allow a child to place,
    the shoulder belt under a child's arm
    or behind the back because it
    reduces the protection for the upper part
    of the body and may increase the risk of
    injury or death in a crash.

    							PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
    WARNINGS
    Always drive and ride with the seat
    backrest upright and the lap belt
    snug and low across the hips.
    To reduce the risk of injury, make
    sure children sit where they can be
    properly restrained.
    Never let a passenger hold a child on
    his or her lap while your vehicle is
    moving. The passenger cannot
    protect the child from injury in a crash
    which may result in serious injury or death. All occupants of the vehicle,
    including the driver, should always
    properly wear their safety belts, even
    when an airbag supplemental restraint
    system is provided. Failure to properly wear
    your safety belt could seriously increase
    the risk of injury or death. It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
    cargo area, inside or outside of a
    vehicle. In a crash, people riding in
    these areas are more likely to be seriously
    injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride
    in any area of your vehicle that is not
    equipped with seats and safety belts. Be
    sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
    and using a safety belt properly. In a rollover crash, an unbelted
    person is significantly more likely to
    die than a person wearing a safety
    belt. Each seating position in your vehicle
    has a specific safety belt assembly
    which is made up of one buckle and
    one tongue that are designed to be used
    as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belt on the
    outside shoulder only. Never wear the
    shoulder belt under the arm. 2) Never
    swing the safety belt around your neck over
    the inside shoulder. 3) Never use a single
    belt for more than one person. WARNINGS
    When possible, all children 12 years
    old and under should be properly
    restrained in a rear seating position.
    Failure to follow this could seriously
    increase the risk of injury or death. Safety belts and seats can become
    hot in a vehicle that has been closed
    up in sunny weather; they could burn
    a small child. Check seat covers and
    buckles before you place a child anywhere
    near them. Front and rear seat occupants,
    including pregnant women, should
    wear safety belts for optimum
    protection in an accident. All seating positions in this vehicle have
    lap and shoulder safety belts. All
    occupants of the vehicle should always
    properly wear their safety belts, even when
    an airbag supplemental restraint system
    is provided.
    The safety belt system consists of:
    •
    Lap and shoulder safety belts.
    • Shoulder safety belt with automatic
    locking mode, (except driver safety
    belt).
    • Height adjuster at the front outboard
    seating positions.
    • Safety belt pretensioner at the front
    outboard seating positions. •
    Safety belt warning light and chime.
    FASTENING THE SEATBELTS
    The front outboard and rear safety
    restraints in the vehicle are combination
    lap and shoulder belts.

    							1. Insert the belt tongue into the proper
    buckle (the buckle closest to the
    direction the tongue is coming from)
    until you hear a snap and feel it latch.
    Make sure you securely fasten the
    tongue in the buckle. 2. To unfasten, press the release button
    and remove the tongue from the
    buckle. Using the Seatbelt with Cinch
    Tongue (Front Center and Rear
    Center Seats Only)
    The cinch tongue slides up and down the
    belt webbing when the belt is stowed or
    while putting seatbelts on. When the lap
    and shoulder seatbelt is buckled, the cinch
    tongue allows the lap portion to be
    shortened, but pinches the webbing to
    keep the lap portion from getting longer.
    The cinch tongue is designed to slip during
    a crash, so always wear the shoulder belt
    properly and do not allow any slack in
    either the lap or shoulder portions.
    Before you can reach and latch a lap and
    shoulder belt having a cinch tongue into
    the buckle, you may have to lengthen the
    lap belt portion of it.
    1. To lengthen the lap belt, pull some
    webbing out of the shoulder belt
    retractor.
    2. While holding the webbing below the tongue, grasp the tip (metal portion)
    of the tongue so that it is parallel to the
    webbing and slide the tongue upward.
    3. Provide enough lap belt length so that
    the tongue can reach the buckle.

    							Fastening the Cinch Tongue
    WARNING
    Always drive and ride with your
    seatback upright and the lap belt
    snug and low across the hips.
    1.
    Pull the lap and shoulder belt from the
    retractor so that the shoulder belt
    portion of the seatbelt crosses your
    shoulder and chest.
    2. Be sure the belt is not twisted. If the belt is twisted, remove the twist.
    3. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle for your seating position until
    you hear a snap and feel it latch.
    4. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened to the buckle by pulling on
    the tongue.
    While you are fastened in the seatbelt, the
    lap and shoulder belt with a cinch tongue
    adjusts to your movement. However, if you
    brake hard, turn hard, or if your vehicle
    receives an impact of 5 mph (8 km/h) or
    more, the seatbelt will become locked and
    help reduce your forward movement.
    Lap Belts WARNING
    Always drive and ride with your
    seatback upright and the lap belt
    snug and low across the hips.
    The front center lap belt does not adjust
    automatically. Insert the tongue into the correct buckle
    (the buckle closest to the direction the
    tongue is coming from). To lengthen the
    belt, turn the tongue at a right angle to the
    belt and pull across your lap until it reaches
    the buckle. To tighten the belt, pull the
    loose end of the belt through the tongue
    until it fits snugly across the hips.
    Shorten and fasten the belt when not in
    use.

    							Using Seatbelts During Pregnancy
    WARNING
    Always ride and drive with your
    seatback upright and properly fasten
    your seatbelt. Fit the lap portion of
    the seatbelt snugly and low across the
    hips. Position the shoulder portion of the
    seatbelt across your chest. Pregnant
    women must follow this practice. See the
    following figure. Pregnant women should always wear their
    seatbelt.  Position the lap belt portion of a
    combination lap and shoulder belt low
    across the hips below the belly and worn
    as tight as comfort allows.  Position the
    shoulder belt to cross the middle of the
    shoulder and the center of the chest.
    Seatbelt Locking Modes
    WARNING
    If your vehicle is involved in a crash,
    have the seatbelts and associated
    components inspected as soon as
    possible. Failure to follow this instruction
    could result in personal injury or death. The safety restraints in the vehicle are
    combination lap and shoulder belts.  The
    driver seatbelt has the first type of locking
    mode.  The front outboard passenger and
    rear outboard seat seatbelts have both
    types of locking modes described as
    follows:
    Vehicle Sensitive Mode
    This is the normal retractor mode, which
    allows free shoulder belt length
    adjustment to your movements and
    locking in response to vehicle movement.
    For example, if the driver brakes suddenly
    or turns a corner sharply, or the vehicle
    receives an impact of about 5 mph
    (8 km/h) or more, the combination
    seatbelts will lock to help reduce forward
    movement of the driver and passengers.
    In addition, the retractor is designed to lock
    if you pull the webbing out too quickly. If
    the seatbelt retractor locks, slowly lower
    the height adjuster to allow the seatbelt
    to retract. If the retractor does not unlock,
    pull the seatbelt out slowly then feed a
    small length of webbing back toward the
    stowed position. For rear seatbelts, recline
    the rear seat backrest or push the seat
    backrest cushion away from the seatbelt.
    Feed a small length of webbing back
    toward the stowed position.
    Automatic Locking Mode
    In this mode, the shoulder belt
    automatically prelocks. The belt still
    retracts to remove any slack in the
    shoulder belt. The automatic locking mode
    is not available on the driver seatbelt or
    optional front center or rear center
    seatbelt.
    34
    F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 201708, First Printing SeatbeltsE142590  
    						
    							When to Use the Automatic Locking
    Mode
    Use this mode any time a child safety seat,
    except a booster, is installed in passenger
    front or rear seating positions. Properly
    restrain children 12 years old and under in
    a rear seating position whenever possible.
    See Child Safety (page 19).
    How to Use the Automatic Locking Mode 1. Buckle the combination lap and
    shoulder belt.
    2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until you pull the entire belt
    out.
    3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.
    This indicates the seatbelt is now in the
    automatic locking mode.
    How to Disengage the Automatic Locking
    Mode
    Unbuckle the combination lap and
    shoulder belt and allow it to retract
    completely to disengage the automatic
    locking mode and activate the vehicle
    sensitive (emergency) locking mode. Energy Management Feature
    •
    This vehicle has a seatbelt system with
    an energy management feature at the
    front outboard seating positions to
    help further reduce the risk of injury in
    the event of a head-on crash.
    • The front outboard seatbelt systems
    have a retractor assembly that is
    designed to pay out webbing in a
    controlled manner. This feature is
    designed to help reduce the belt force
    acting on the occupant’ s chest.
    SEATBELT HEIGHT
    ADJUSTMENT WARNING
    Position the safety belt height
    adjuster so that the belt rests across
    the middle of your shoulder. Failure
    to adjust the safety belt properly could
    reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt
    and increase the risk of injury in a crash. Adjust the height of the shoulder belt so
    the belt rests across the middle of your
    shoulder.
    To adjust the shoulder belt height:
    1. Pull the button and slide the height
    adjuster up or down.
